the cookbook shelf

So recently i decided to upgrade my cookbook shelf from this:

to THIS:

I ended up sorting by author/publisher and kinda by genre. The top shelf is mostly "brands" such as Pillsbury, Southern Living, Betty Crocker, and then some of the BEST cooks: Dorie Greenspan, Julia Child, & Martha Stewart. The second shelf is Taste of Home & Southern Lady publications (including, but not limited to Taste of the South, Tea Time, and Cooking for Two), the third shelf is Food Network cookbooks and my measly collection of "healthy" cooking (3 cookbooks & a subscription to Cooking Light magazine). Fourth row is any short books and pamplets--includes the Cake Mix Doctor books and several small booklets. Then the final shelf is Goosberry Patch and misc. things that didn't really fit elsewhere.

I also decided to finally count the cookbooks, and I have..

75!

I actually thought there would be more, but do take note that the total is only for actual cookbooks--not cooking magazine subscriptions or special edition magazines which would take up at least one other shelf on there own (probably more considering that I have a stack about a foot high that I have not finished reading...)

So...needless to say...if you need to borrow a good cookbook--you know who to come to!
